Using partial Id in Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am trying to locate element with their Id where a part of Id is known, as shown:

id="page_default-create-firstname"

in which the last 3 words i.e. default-create-firstname is known but anything preceding to it can change. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can use CSS Selector for this, as shown:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[id$=default-create-firstname]"));
